In this example, we refer to the phone fields Old Custom Field and New Custom Phone Field

  1. Create a new property in Hubspot containing "phone" in the name (see above for example). We'll make a new field called New Custom Phone Field.

  2. Start a new Contact-based Hubspot workflow from scratch.
  3. Under Trigger, set the enrollment trigger to Contact Properties > select the name of your old field > trigger when the field is known. For our example, we'll select the Old Custom Field > is known.
